I know how difficult it is to find a work online and that too a genuine work.

Over the years, I had worked for many people online from around the world, US, UK, Aus being the most popular ones and I found not even a single person from these countries deceived me however you never know.

Anyways let alone these things, today in this article I’ll be discussing some really good resources where you can find really good work opportunities.

Pre-requisite of start working online-

You need to be ready with several things before you decide to work online.

These things are really critical for online business and must be arranged first.

I faced lots of problems during my journey (some of them become obsolete by now, for example dial-up internet connection) and like to share in this article so that you don’t see on your way.

Desktop Computer/Laptop with reliable internet connection –

This is a must to have a good desktop computer/laptop with a reliable internet connection as these two things are the foundation of online business.

I know its basic thing but in some countries finding a reliable internet connection is not that easy.

You will see occasions when the client will request to deliver the work by the end of the day or in few hours and if you do not have reliable PC and internet connection, you’re likely to miss the deadline of work completion that gives wrong impression in spite of the fact you’re hard working and have skills to complete the task on time.

In online business world where everything happening via internet, testimonials of your work, feedback, reputation play critical role.

People (the project creators Or work providers) are more inclined to choose the service provider who has a good number of testimonials, feedback, reviews of the service rendered to other clients.

Hence it becomes utmost important for you to provide top quality service to your clients so that apart from they pay you fee, write good testimonials, feedback about your service as well that will help you build reputation online and ultimately help you grab more projects/work.

Payment method

The problem I faced when I completed my first task is how to get paid. You need a payment method for cross-border transactions.

The client wanted to pay me through globally accepted payment method PAYPAL but I didn’t have one.

Paypal Objects research indicates some eye opening statistics about Paypal and how it is being used world wide.

According to this research the US & China are the leading countries in terms of total online spending however India is growing fast !

According to Paypal, it stands at $282 billion payment volume and 4.9 billion of payment transactions in 2015 alone. That’s huge !

I had no PayPal account and needed to wait for the payment until I got one.

Do not repeat this and have the PayPal account ready before you start working online. It doesn’t cost a dime !

Dedication

In this online business world, when the client and service provider hardly meet in real life, it becomes important for the service provider to provide better service to the client.

You need to show the dedication towards the assigned job and make client happy. If you are successful in winning the heart of the client, it will pay off in different form.

The client will write testimonials about your service, leave positive feedback on the websites, refer you to other people and come back to you again as well.

CMO explains 80% of the income comes from 20% of existing customers. So never make your client angry!

To relate it with e-commerce websites/shopping sites such as ebay, amazon, you are more likely to purchase stuff from the seller who has lots of positive reviews on these websites. Similar thing goes here.

If you are good at designing different stuff such as logo design, web design, banners, 99designs is the best choice to find work.

This website is dedicated to the designers only where the project creators post their requirements about design work and the designers (service providers) quote their price, turn around time to complete the job. Go ahead, sign up and start picking projects.

To find a work on this website, just click the country/state/city you want to look into and check the gigs section.

Under the gigs category, you will find plenty of people need to get varieties of work done.

Click the gigs title to read whole requirement and if you think you can do this task, hit “Reply” button.

Once you hit the “Reply” button, copy the email given in box which is something like “[email protected]” and login to your email account. Send the email to this email address quoting your price and why you are the right person for this task.

In some cases you will find you aren’t able to understand what client actually wants.

In that case you can start the communication asking for more information about the work.

Including your profiles at Freelancer.com, upwork, peopleperhour and other such sites where you have built a good reputation in the email will make you stand out of the crowd and chances of winning the job be higher.
